MS Degree Procedures

Major Professor

The Major Professor is chair of the student’s Advisory Committee and is the student’s primary source of advice on academic, scientific, and professional matters. The Major Professor will most likely be involved with a number of graduate students and other matters, so it is incumbent upon the student to use the School’s web site, the Graduate School Bulletin, and the MS Student Checklist to insure adequate progress toward graduation.

Advisory Committee

Due: End of the first semester

Composed of the student’s major professor, who serves as chair, and two other faculty members.

The major professor must be a member of the Warnell faculty (no adjunct members may serve), and must be working in the student’s study area.

The major professor and at least one other member of the committee must be members of the Graduate Faculty. If more than three members are appointed, a majority of the committee must be members of the Graduate Faculty.

Of the two additional members of the committee, one must work in a study area outside the student’s area of concentration. The outside representative may be from another school or college of the University

All committee members must hold the rank of assistant professor or above, or the equivalent.
